decent stay, a few drawbacks

helpful staffgood selectionthermostat issuetraffic noise

the staff was helpful. they allowed me to store my bag both before check in and after check out since my flight times were not convenient. the on-site food outlets offered a good selection.

the thermostat looked to be stuck at 20c. i found it unbearable when sleeping. the first night, i opened the window all night, but it remained too hot and i heard loud traffic noise
